HOTEL. My wife waited me in the passengers arrival in NAIA Terminal 1. The place is so crowded and humid. We hired a private taxi to bring us to Pinoy Pamilya Club Hotel for P400. I booked a premium room through the internet for three days for P1,650 per night with complimentary plated breakfast for two. The room is good enough and painted walls comforted us after a very tiring travel.

DINING AND MOVIES. Day One.Went to Mall of Asia for watching the movie,"The Avengers", in 3D. The best place for coffee break is still Starbucks and tried milk fish sisig during dinner at Bangus Restaurant.

Visited Ocean Park. Day Two. I and my wife, directly headed to the park and bought park attraction tickets for three. We met our grade school friend whose staying in Taguig. She will be our tour guide in Ocean Park. We chose Penguin Delight B package worth P900 per head

The Oceanarium is the first attraction we entered. We passed through a scanner just like in the airport for security check. A bottled water is not allowed, so our friend forcefully drunk her water before she entered. This attraction seems big aquarium with so many big and small fishes. We are under the sea seeing colorful and different variety of fishes, sharks and stingrays.After 30 minutes, we went out for the next attraction which is the Trails to Antarctica. I met here the eight cute penguins walking and diving in the small pool. We then tried to slide in the hardened ice, for there is no snow in the Philippines, using a tube and wearing helmets. I enjoyed the ride though it's only took a second. We then entered a snowing room "A Snow Village" in which the temperature maintained up to negative 20 degrees. The staffs gave us coats to resist the cold. We stayed there for 15 minutes. We stayed longer if compared to other tourists who only stayed few minutes.We then visited the Jellies Exhibit and amazed on how the jellies look like when reflected with colorful beam of light. Amazing!

We then went in the amphitheater for Sea Lion Show which started at 1500H. I've seen already such show when I was in Subic so I'm not anymore surprised on sea lions tricks and abilities. After 30 minutes, the show ended and we went inside the park for snacks. A bit hungry! We will wait for the Birds Show which will start at 1630H. We tried the five minutes 4D shows twice and was shaken dreadfully. We had never forgot the Volcanic Eruption show causing my wife threw up her recently taken snack in the comfort room after the ride.At 1630H, we witnessed the Birds Show that for me has normal tricks. I will enjoy this much when I'm a first timer. The highlight of this show is finding the lost yellow snake which was only at our back. However, I appreciate the people behind the training of those animals. We left the place and back to our hotel after the Birds Show since the Musical Fountain Show will start at 1900H. We decided to have dinner in our hotel.Before 1900H, I and my wife already occupied the middle highest seat of the amphitheater. It's the best spot to see the entire colorful fountain show. I'm really amazed to see this kind of show in the first time. The musical show composed of a rising water fountain with a comedy acting characters, and an environmental message. It's so funny watching the characters (the fat chef struggling to catch the two lobsters and fishes for meals)

.In the middle of the show, I felt cold water touches my neck. It might be because of the fountain drops. But it's not...its heavy rain! The show still continued and some audiences went out. The strong wind brought the rain water across the seats making the audience all in standing ovation. It's really fun! The staff started to distribute rain coats! I saluted that they are prepared for such unpredictable event. The theater flooded with water and everyone are wet. My shoes are wet too! I enjoyed the rain better than the fountain show! At the last minute of the show, only few people were left. We waved our hands saying good bye to the funny show characters and we are the one who step out last from the theater.

It is so difficult to find a taxi on this area during night. I wondering if I booked the park H2O Hotel, how could I go out anytime at night? Since the waiting area outside was flooded, taxi fare negotiations are expensive. So, we managed to walk up to Roxas Boulevard and rode a public PUV to Baclaran. In Baclaran, another five minutes walk going to our hotel.
